An image coding method comprising: obtaining current signals to be coded of each of the processing units of the image; generating a binary signal by performing binarization on each of the current signals to be coded; selecting a context for each of the current signals to be coded from among a plurality of contexts; performing arithmetic coding of the binary signal by using coded probability information associated with the context selected in the selecting; and updating the coded probability information based on the binary signal, wherein, in the selecting, the context for the current signal to be coded is selected, as a shared context, for a signal which is included in one of a plurality of processing units and has a size different from a size of the processing unit including the current signal to be coded.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An image decoding method for decoding a coded image comprising: obtaining a current signal to be decoded of a current processing unit of the coded image; selecting a context for the current signal to be decoded from among a plurality of contexts; and performing arithmetic decoding of the current signal to be decoded by using the selected context, wherein, in said selecting, a shared context is selected as the context for the current signal to be decoded in the case where a size of the processing unit which includes the current signal to be decoded is a block size of 16×16, and in the case where the size of the processing unit which includes the current signal to be decoded is a block size of 32×32, and wherein, in said selecting, a dedicated context is selected as the context for the current signal to be decoded in the case where the size of the processing unit which includes the current signal to be decoded is smaller than the block size of 16×16.
2. An image coding method for coding an image comprising: obtaining a current signal to be coded of a current processing unit of the image; selecting a context for the current signal to be coded from among a plurality of contexts; and performing arithmetic coding of the current signal to be coded by using the selected context, wherein, in said selecting, a shared context is selected as the context for the current signal to be coded in the case where a size of the processing unit which includes the current signal to be coded is a block size of 16×16, and in the case where the size of the processing unit which includes the current signal to be coded is a block size of 32×32, and wherein, in said selecting, a dedicated context is selected as the context for the current signal to be coded in the case where the size of the processing unit which includes the current signal to be coded is smaller than the block size of 16×16.
